A lone traverler on a sojourn across the wastelands.

 

A long and dusty road leads me home

A tattered old coat and the pack on my back is all that I own

The weary earth offers me my only bed

Searching for paradise but death is all I find instead

Callused and rough feet keep me moving along

All comfort and convenience seems to be gone

The parched lands beg for the rains to come again

Man’s greed and corruption ruined the land forever my friend

The wind whips it’s fury against my teary eye

Wreckage of mankind is something I truly despise

I’m beaten and battered but still I search for home

This long and dusty road leads me on and on

A lone witness to the ravages of man

I spied a lone doe but she turned and ran

No food to bring life to this old body of mine

No water to quench the thirst I find

The only thing left is this long windswept road I call home

Day after day I wander and roam

All around my eyes see the discarded trash left for me

How can I be the last one left to be
